Today, the term exaleiptron is predominantly used for this type of vase, in which the unusually inwardly curved rim allowed the liquid to swirl. Especially in the older literature, however, the terms kothon and plemochoe are also used. see I. Scheibler, JdI 79, 1964, p. 72 ff; this, AA 1968, p. 389 ff; W.
